Description

Antelope Canyon is what is known as a "slot canyon". It is a very narrow canyon that is actually narrower at the top, and rather cavelike, and it is carved out of sandstone by the rushing waters of flash floods during the rainy seasons. Parts of northern Arizona and southern Utah are riddled with these canyons, of which Antelope Canyon is among the most famous. These canyons display breathtaking colors as the sun plays on the various faces of rock. Do not get caught in one when it is raining upstream or shortly afterward; you could be killed by a flood of rushing water in what seemed to be a perfectly dry canyon! These photos are intended to accompany my display of a slot canyon made in Terragen. To see that, go here. Also, you can see more pictures of Antelope Canyon on my web site, Extraplicity.

Wow! I've been wanting to go to this area. What is the best way to go about it? Photo tour? I hear that most of the places are on tribal land, so a guide is required?
